Freedom and Lifestyle

"The prospect of owning and operating my own pharmacy is something that has excited me since I began my pharmacy career in 2005. With the guidance and tools provided by Medicine Shoppe Canada, I was able to achieve this goal early in my career. The professional pharmacy model allows me to provide my patients with dedicated and personalized service. I have the freedom to make my own decisions on how to meet the needs and expectations of my clients.

Investing in The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy franchise took courage as I left a well-paying, stable, staff pharmacist position at a big-box competitor. The choice is already rewarding me professionally and in the future will allow me to pursue the lifestyle I desire."

"The Medicine Shoppe concept stands out from everyone else.
I believe in patient care and service... this is the reason people will come back to you. Medicine Shoppe gives me the support and the environment where I can be my best for me and my patients."

Goodwill & Equity

"I spent a lot of time building up goodwill in my community… but it was always for someone else. I decided it was time to do it for myself, and Medicine Shoppe demonstrated to me that they could make it happen… I really should have done it years ago."

Box Store Blues

"I was tired of shift work, tired of rules, and tired of a windowless dispensary under fluorescent lights… I just wanted to be in control! Thankfully, Medicine Shoppe gave me the opportunity, the confidence and the tools to make it happen."

Professional Focus

"In pharmacy school, I imagined myself as the type of pharmacist that could make a real difference in the lives and health of my patients…Medicine Shoppe clearly stands for nurturing the relationship between customer and pharmacist…
I could never practice any other way."

Value of the System

"I think the Medicine Shoppe model represents the future of pharmacy. The programs, the professional focus and the
operations & marketing support is totally unique to the industry.
Other retailers talk about it…but Medicine Shoppe delivered."

Laurie Reay
Medicine Shoppe owner, Edmonton, AB

"I knew I wanted to own my own pharmacy one day… I just didn't think it was possible so soon after graduation. Then Medicine Shoppe came along and gave me an opportunity to achieve my goals… they were there every step of the way."

The Medicine Shoppe Concept

"I remember before graduating from pharmacy in 2002 how excited I was to know that I was finally going to be able to apply all the wonderful things I had learned in school. All these years of studying would pay off in terms of good pay but also professional satisfaction. When I entered the workforce I soon realized that there was little opportunity to showcase all the knowledge I had attained. The Medicine Shoppe concept appealed to me because it offered me the opportunity to own my own business and at the same time function as a true professional. My dream came true when I opened up my Medicine Shoppe in January 2009. I am able to dedicate my time to providing exceptional service to my clients; I am finally able to reap the rewards of the goodwill I create with my customers; I could practice my profession the way I see fit; and I could do all of this while being in control. I appreciate the relationship I have forged with Medicine Shoppe Canada and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other like-minded individuals."

The Medicine Shoppe Concept

For me, Medicine Shoppe has been life changing. I'm happy to go to work everyday. I love my store and my patients and find my work very rewarding. We have been very fortunate to have built our business up very quickly. Using the model that Medicine Shoppe provides, I found it very easy to develop and build the needed business. I have less stress and the time to meet all of my non-work committments, such as coach a local volleyball team.
